Continuing the timeline from last practice? That's actually pretty good, the Suns have a huge treasure trove of skills and game experience.
A semester had passed, and his shooting had improved from zero to capable. In terms of ball control, he was also quite decent now, with the physical prowess, tactical bonuses, and the threats posed by DeRozan and Tatum, he had no problem playing a simple game.
But his passing... next semester for sure, it definitely wasn't due to a broken pass button.
As for physical fitness, the fastest two periods of growth had indeed passed; he only grew two centimeters during the semester. DeRozan had reached 193 cm; tears were shed.
Fortunately, Tatum, who was now 16 years old, was still 190 cm, which greatly pleased Zhang Yang. He was just a slow grower, the charcoal head stopped growing.
